A Study on the Effects of Propanil on the Water Quality and Plankton Communities of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Pond Systems With and Without a Floating Algal Scum

Edziyie R1* and Perschbacher P2

A study was conducted to compare channel catfish system water quality and plankton communities with and without a surface algal scum when exposed to various levels of propanil. The system with the scum suffered greater negative impacts than the system without scum. Other crop herbicides shown to impact phytoplankton, such as diuron, should also be investigated and are assumed to have greater effect on ponds with an algal scum.
